This review was written for the Magellan Meridian Swivel Mount Bracket not the Magellan Swivel Mounting Bracket 701258. Use the Magellan Meridian Swivel Mount Bracket for the Magellan Meridian COLOR GPS.
Got this Magellan Swivel Mount to use as a desktop cradle for my Meridian Color and it works perfectly.
The Power/Data cable connects onto the mount from the back and automatically connects to the GPSR when the receiver is snapped into place. You'll appreciate this after a few tries at attaching the connector by using it's teeny-tiny anchor screw.
Construction of the mount is sturdy and holds the receiver and connector securely. The mount is adjustable so that the GPSR screen is always in your line of sight either at eye level or from above (mounted on a horizontal surface) of from below (mounted on a wall). You will, however, have to provide your own Velcro or mounting screws since none comes with the unit.
Overall, terrific functionality for just a few extra dollars.
Magellan Meridian Swivel Mount Bracket - Magellan
Lock it down with this one!
This bracket series for the Magellan Meridian's are the best I've seen for any portable device. You can insert and lock the GPS into the bracket with one hand - with a firm *CLICK* to let you know that it's secure. Removing it is a one-hand easy operation as well. And to top it all off -- the Magellan's DC power supply cable mounts to the bracket itself! So when you install your GPS into the bracket, it is automatically powered by your car or boat's electrical system.. My old Magellan was never this easy to deal with, and it's bracket would spit out the unit when you hit any big bumps...
Get this swivel unit for the boat or any other location that you can mount it with screws or 2 sided tape.. Then get the suction cup version of the bracket for the car windshield mount... And then there's the "bicycle" mount to use on your bicycle or motorcycle (it works GREAT on my Honda Goldwing)... You guessed it - I have all three!!!
I love it when engineers do something right, and these brackets are great!!!
